< Mark 1 >

1 ([This is/I want to tell you]) the good message about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God). [What I want to tell you] begins just like the prophet Isaiah [said it would begin, when] he wrote [these words that God said to Jesus: ] Listen! I am sending my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare [people for] your [coming].
Obho ndo mwanzo ghwa injili jha Yesu Kristo, mwana ghwa K'yara.
2
Kama kya jhilembibhu ni nabii Isaya, “Langayi, nikan'tume n'jumbe ghwa nene mbele jha jhobhi, mmonga jhaibetakutayarisya njela jha bhebhe.
3 He will call out to people [who pass by where he is] in the desolate area, “As people improve and straighten out pathways [before an important official arrives] [MET], make [yourselves] ready [DOU] [in order that you will be prepared when] the Lord [comes].”
Sauti jha munu jhikuta ku nyika, “Mujhikamilisiayi njela jha Bwana; musinyosiayi njela sya muene”.
4 [The messenger that Isaiah predicted was] John. [People called him] ‘The Baptizer’. In the desolate area near the Jordan River he kept telling people, “If you want God to forgive you for having sinned, you must turn away from your sinful behavior [before you ask me to] baptize [you].”
Yohana ahidili, ni kubatisya nyikani ni kuhubili bhubatisu bhwa toba kwa n'samaha ghwa dhambi.
5 A great number [HYP] of people who lived in Jerusalem [city] and [elsewhere] in the Judea [district] were going out to where John was. There, [after hearing John’s message], they [responded by] confessing the sinful things [that they had done]. Then they were being baptized by John {John was baptizing them} in the Jordan River.
Nchi jhioha jha Yudea na bhanu bhoha bha Yerusalemu bhalotili kwa muene. Bhabatisibhu mu kih'olo Yordani, bhakajha bhibhungama dhambi sya bhene.
6 John wore [rough] clothes made of camel’s hair. And [as the prophet Elijah had done], he wore a leather belt around his waist; and what he ate was [only] grasshoppers and honey [that he found] in that desolate area.
Yohana ajhele ifuala liguanda lya mangama gha ngamia ni nkanda ghwa ngozi mu nsana ghwa muene, na alijheghe nzige ni asali jha muda si.
7 He was preaching, “Very shortly a man will come who is very great. I [am nothing compared to him. Because he is so superior to me], I am not even worthy to [serve him like a slave] by stooping down and untying his sandals.
Ahubiri ni kujobha, “Ajhele mmonga ihida badala jha nene na ajhe ni nghofo kuliko nene, na nijhelepi ni hadhi hata kujhinama pasi ni kukhonga mighojhi jha filatu fya muene.
8 I used [only] water when I baptized you [because you said that you wanted to change your lives], but he will put his Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change your lives].”
Nene nabhabatisi kwa masi, lakini muene ibetakubhabatisya muenga kwa roho mtakatifu.”
9 During that time [when John was preaching], Jesus came from Nazareth [town], which is in Galilee [district]. He went to [where John was preaching] and he was baptized by John {John baptized him} in the Jordan [River].
Jhatokili mu magono aghu kujha Yesu ahidili kuh'oma Nazareti jha Galilaya na abatisibhu ni Yohana mu kih'olo Yordani.
10 Immediately after [Jesus] came up out of the water, he saw heaven opened up [and he saw] the Spirit [of God] descending on himself. He came in the form of a dove.
Bhwakati Yesu ijhinuka kuh'oma mmasi, abhwene mbingu sigabhwanyiki bhwasi ni Roho akaselela pasi panani pa muene Kama njebha.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
Ni sauti jha h'omili kumbinguni “Bhebhe ndo mwanabhangu jha nikuganili. Nipendesibhu sana ni bhene.”
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Kisha mara moja Roho akandalimisya kulita nyikani.
13 He was there for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by Satan {Satan tempted him}. There were wild animals [there] also. But angels took care of him.
Ajhele kunyikani magono arobaini, akajha ijaribibhwa ni lisyetani. Ajhele pamonga ni bhanyama bha kun'situ ni malaika bhan'hudumili.
14 Later, after John was put in prison {after [soldiers] put John in prison} [because he had rebuked the governor Herod Antipas for his sins], Jesus went to Galilee [district]. There he was preaching the good message [that came] from God.
Henu baada jha Yohana kukamulibhwa, Yesu akahida Galilaya kutangasya injili ya K'yara,
15 He was repeatedly saying, “Now is the time when God will begin to rule people’s lives [in a new way]. [So] turn away from your sinful behavior! Believe the good message [in order] ([to belong to him/to become those whose lives he will rule])!”
Akajobha, “Muda bhutimili, ni bhufalme bhwa K'yara bhukaribili. Mutubuajhi ni kujiamini injili”.
16 [One day], while Jesus was walking along by Galilee Lake, he saw [two men], Simon and Simon’s [younger] brother, Andrew. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake. They [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Na akajha ip'eta kando mu bahari jha Galilaya, ambwene Simoni ni Andrea ndongho ghwa Simoni bhakajha bhilo bha nkwabhu ghwa bhene mu bahari kwa kujha bhajhele bhavuvi.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will [teach] you how to [gather people to become my disciples]” [MET].
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi, munikesiajhi, na nibetakubhabhomba bhavuvi bha bhanu.”
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Na mara jhe jhuejhu bhakaleka mikwabhu ghya bhene bhakankesya.
19 After they had gone on a little further, Jesus saw [two other men], James and James’ [younger] brother, John. They were the sons of [a man named] Zebedee. They were both in a boat mending [fishing] nets.
Bhwakati agendili patali kidogo, ambwene Yakobo mwana ghwa Zebedayo ni Yohana ndongo munu; Bhajhele mu bhuatu bhitengenesya nkuabhu.
20 As soon as Jesus saw them, he told them that [they should leave their work and to come with him]. So they left their father, [who remained] in the boat with the hired servants, and they went away with Jesus.
Mara akabhakuta na bhene bhakandeka Dadi jha bhu Zebedayo mugati mu bhuatu ni bhatumishi bhabhakodibhu, bhakan'kesya.
21 [Later] Jesus [and those disciples] arrived at Capernaum [town]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish rest day), after Jesus had entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), he began teaching [the people who had gathered there].
Na bho bhafika kaperinaumu, ligono lya sabato Yesu akajhingila mu sinagogi ni kufundisya.
22 They were continually amazed at the way he taught. [He did] not [just teach what others had taught], like the men who teach the [Jewish] laws did. [They habitually just repeated what other people had taught]. Instead, he taught with [his own] authority.
Bhakashangala tifundisu la muene, kwandabha ajhele akabhafundisya kama munu ambajhe ajhe ni mamlaka na siyo kama bhaandishi.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Bhwakati bhobhuobhu kwa jhele ni munu mu lisinagogi lya bhene jhaajhele ni roho jhibaya, na apigili kelele,
24 “Jesus, from Nazareth [town, since] we [evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, ([do not interfere with us]!/what do you want with us [evil spirits]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now]!/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. I know that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
akajobha, “Tujhe ni kiki kya kubhomba ni bhebhe Yesu ghwa Nazareti? Uhidili kutujhangamisya? Nikumanyili ghe niani. Bhebhe ghwe n'takatifu pekee ghwa k'yara!”
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Yesu akankemela pepo ni kujobha, “Gudamayi ni ubhokayi mugati omu!”
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Ni roho jhichafu jhambinisi pasi ni kubhoka kwa muene bhwakati ilela kwa sauti jha panani.
27 All [the people who were there] were amazed. As a result, they discussed this among themselves, [exclaiming], “(This is [amazing]!/What is this?) [RHQ] Not only does he teach in a new and authoritative way, but also the evil spirits obey him [when] he commands [them]!”
Na bhanu bhoha bhashangala bhakajhandana kukotana kila mmonga, “Elehe kiki? Lifundisu lipya lyalijhele ni mamlaka? Hata liamuru pepo bhabhi naghughuken'tii”
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Ni habari kuhusu muene mara jha jhuejhu sileasambala khila mahali mugati mu mkoa bhuoa bhwa Galilaya.
29 After they left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), [Jesus, Simon and Andrew], along with James and John went directly to Simon and Andrew’s house.
Na mara jhejhuejhu baada jha kuh'oma kwibhala lya sinagogi bhajhingili munyumba mwa Simoni ni Andrea bhakajha ni Yakobo ni Yohana.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
Henu nkuwibhi ghwa Simoni ajhele agonili iluala bhutamu, mara jhejhuejhu bhakari jobhela Yesu habari sya muene.
31 He went to her, and helped her up by taking hold of her hand. She recovered [at once] from the fever, and then she [got up and] served them [some food].
Efyo akahida, akarikamula kibhokho, ni kunj'hinula kunani; bhutemu bhukabhoka kwa muene, na akajhanda kubhahudumila.
32 That evening, after the sun had gone down [and restrictions about travel on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [were ended], some people brought to Jesus many people who were sick and others whose lives evil spirits were controlling.
Kimihi kekuekhu lijhobha limali kujhibhela, bhakanditela kwa muene bhoha bhabhejhele bhatamu, au bhahajhe ni mapepo.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Mji bhuoha bhakibhongeniye pamonga pa ndiangu.
34 Jesus healed many people who were ill with various diseases. He also expelled many demons [from people]. He did not allow the demons to tell people [about him], because they knew that he [had come from God, and for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
Abhapo ngisi bhingi bha bhajhe bhatamu bha bhutemu mbalimbali ni kubhosya pepo mingi bali anihusili lepi pepo kulongela kwandabha bhammanyili.
35 Jesus got up very early [the next morning] while it was still dark. He left [the house] and went away [from the town] to a place where there were no people. Then he prayed there.
Ajhumuiki lukhela sana bhwakati jha jhele bado ngisi; abhokili akalota mahali pa faragha na as'omili okhu.
36 Simon and his companions searched for him. When they found him, [wanting him to go back to town to help other people], they said to him,
Simoni ni bhoha bhabhajhele pamonga ni muene bharikesisi.
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
Bhankabhili ni kun'jobhela, “khila mmonga ikulonda”
38 He said to them, “[No], let’s go on to the neighboring towns in order that I can preach there also, because the reason that I came [into the world] was to [preach to people] in many places!”
Akabhejobhela, “Tubhoki mahali pangi, kwibhala mu miji jha jhizunguka, ili nibhwesiajhi kuhubili okhu pia. Ndio sababu nihidili hapa.”
39 So they went throughout Galilee [district. As they did so, each (Sabbath/Jewish rest day]) he preached in (synagogues/Jewish meeting places). He was also expelling evil spirits [from people].
Akalota akajha ep'ete Galilaya jhioha, ihubiri mu masinagogi gha bhene ni kukemela pepo.
40 [One day] a man who had [a bad skin disease called] leprosy came to Jesus. He knelt down in front of Jesus and then he pleaded with him saying, “[Please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you want to!”
Jaajhele ni bhukoma mmonga akahida kwa muene. Akajha akan'sihi; Apigili magoti nikun'jobhela, “Kama ghwilonda, ghwibhwesya kunibhomba nijhiajhi kinofu.”
41 Jesus felt very sorry for him. [So he ignored the religious laws about coming close to people who had that disease]. He reached out his hand and touched the man. Then he said to him, “Since I am willing [to heal you], be healed {I heal you} [now]!”
Akajha sukumibhwa ni huruma, Yesu akanyosya kibhoko Kya muene ni kurikamula, akan'jobhla, “Nilonda ujhelayi ghwe n'nofu.”
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Mara jhejhuejhu bhukoma bhukabhoka, na ambombili kujha kinofu.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Yesu akan'sihi sana ni kun'jobhela alotajhi mara moja,
44 What Jesus said was, “Go to a local priest and show yourself to him [in order that he may examine you and verify that you are healed]. Then, [after the priest tells the local people], they will know [that you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that you do not tell others [about what happened] Then go to [Jerusalem and take to the priest what Moses commanded that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer, in order that he] may offer it [as a sacrifice to God].”
Akan'jobhela, “Hakikisia jhi ghwajo bha lepi litobhi kwa jhejhioha j'hola, lakini lotajhi, ukilasiajhi kwa kuhani, na uhomesiajhi dhabihu kwandabha jha bhutakaso ambabho Musa alaghisye, kama bhushuhuda kwa bhene.”
45 The man went [and presented himself to the priest. But then] he began to tell many people about [how Jesus had healed him] [DOU]. As a result, Jesus was no longer able to enter any town publicly [because the crowds would surround him]. Instead, he remained outside [the towns] in places [where no people lived]. But people kept coming to him from all over that region.
Lakini akalota ni kujha nda kumb'ola kila mmonga ni kujhenesya lilobhi zaidi hata Yesu abhwesi lepi kabhele kuj'hingila kun'jini kwa bhuhuru. Efyo atamili mahali pa faragha ni bhanu bha hidili kwa muene kuhomela kila mahali.
